We’ve seen season-ending injuries to Jon Gray, Scott Oberg, Brendan Rodgers and now maybe German Marquez. We’ve seen the team slide from six games over .500 to their current mark of 15 games under. Perhaps saddest of all, we’ve seen the Colorado Rockies fall out of contention for a franchise-record third straight playoff appearance to all-but-guaranteeing that they’ll end the streak at two.
With all this depressing news, it can be easy to just fold on the season and turn your attention to the Denver Broncos who, as of this writing, are tied for the best record in the NFL.
